The only 15-inch notebook we've reviewed that comes close to this MacBook Pro in terms of resolution is the Asus UX51Vz, which has a 2880 x 1660-pixel screen. Viewing angles were narrow as we tried to take some photos of the screen. Our only complaint about this panel is that it can be difficult to read outdoors due to glare. The panel measured 324 lux on our light meter, compared to 267 lux for the Asus Zenbook UX51vz. The 15-inch MacBook Pro's screen is plenty bright, too. The gold-and- azure-blue structure popped off the screen, and we could discern very fine details in the facade. Thanks to the 178-degree viewing angles, three people can easily gather around this notebook to view content.Ĭlick to EnlargeWe also enjoyed an ornate 2880 x 1800-pixel image of a Japan pagoda at night. We could also make out every wrinkle in Gandalf's forehead.

When viewing the full HD trailer for "Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," the Shire looked so lush that it felt like we could reach out and touch the grass. With a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels, everything from app icons in Launchpad and text on websites to high-resolution photos looked razor sharp. This panel is bright and offers a fantastic amount of detail along with rich and bold colors. That same hot spot from our gaming test-the underside near the hinge-reached 94 degrees.Ĭlick to EnlargeEven after a year we're still smitten with the Retina Display on the 15-inch MacBook Pro. The bottom center area registered 84 degrees, the touchpad 78 and the area between the G and H keys 91 degrees. At least the touchpad stayed a cool 80 degrees.įortunately, this laptop remained fairly chilly after streaming a Hulu video for 15 minutes. After playing "World of Warcraft" for 15 minutes, the bottom of the notebook and the center of the keyboard reached 108 degrees, We consider anything above 95 degrees to be uncomfortable. The 15-inch MacBook Pro can run quite warm under stress. While running various benchmarks, the MacBook Pro's fan occasionally got loud enough for us to hear it from across the room, but it wasn't too disturbing. We still find it annoying that memory cards protrude from the notebook when inserted. In addition to a second USB 3.0 port, the right side of the MacBook Pro has an SD Card slot and HDMI port.
The MagSafe 2 power connector, headphone jack and dual microphones also line the left side.
As the world waits for blazing-fast peripherals to match, you can use one of two USB 3.0 ports (one on the left and on the right). We're talking up to 20 Gbps, or four times faster than USB 3.0.
